Change your album visibility

Set your album visibility as public or as private as you'd like.

Public
Anyone on the web can view public albums. Public albums can be found on your public gallery, in web search results, on your Google profile, and in Google+.

Limited, anyone with the link
These albums are visible to anyone with the link. They're technically visible to anyone, but they include a unique authorization key in the web address; the key is a combination of letters and numbers that make the address difficult to guess.

Limited
Limited albums are visible only to the people you specify, and those people must sign in to their Google Account to view your photos. Users without a Google Account will be prompted to create one. Google+ users: The people you share with have permission to reshare your album. Within Google+, they'll also be able to see who else you've shared with.

Only you
The highest level of privacy, these albums are visible only to you. Changing an album to 'Only you' will wipe everyone off the album's 'Shared with' list.
